Nexford University

You can complete PG programmes from Nexford within 18 months or even before that, depending on your learning speed in the middle of your work life.  One great feature of this institute is that you pay for any of the programmes on a monthly basis, but some courses can get even cheaper if you complete within the 18-month period. For instance, its MS in Digital Transformation programme costs around USD 300 per month. But if you complete it within 18 months, you can pay a fixed rate of USD 5400, instead of paying USD 7200 for an otherwise 24-month course.  

Nexford is a tech-forward university. The curriculum is developed using the ‘backward design’ method. It has been designed after surveying and building an AI model to look at top companies with 2.5 million employees and 30 million job vacancies worldwide. This has helped the university bridge the employee skill gap. It does not just focus on helping learners build their technical skills; it also teaches business competencies that make them more employable.

Nexford University provides scholarships via the Nexford Financial Need Scholarship for any student worldwide. The university provides such financial aid through partners and corporations. Some include IBM, Microsoft, Union Bank, Sterling Bank, and Guaranty Trust Bank. But, the university decides if learners meet the eligibility criteria when they submit the application form. Even after acquiring a scholarship, students need to maintain a GPA of 2.5 for a bachelor’s and 3.00 for a master’s throughout the academic time.
